After having a working configuration in Xcode, open a shell and navigate to the directory, where your <NAME>.xcodeproj resides.

After running:

xcodebuild -list -project <NAME>.xcodeproj/

you see a list of Schemes.

Copy the desired scheme name and run:

xcodebuild -scheme <SCHEME NAME> build

You can install ios-deploy i.e. via:

npm install -g ios-deploy

Copy the app path from the end of the xcodebuild output and run:

ios-deploy --debug --bundle <APP PATH>

Now the app should be launched on i.e. a connected device.
